I am just trying to find how to check if my device has S-OFF or not?
I tried holding the...
volume up + power
volume down + power
volume up&down + power
NOTHING gets me into the h boot screen.
Its driving me crazy and I can't find it anywhere. Whats the trick?
Thanks
Either take the battery out for a couple of seconds and the power up with volume down. OR far easier turn off the fastboot option in the power settings, then power down and then power up with volume down.
Took me a little while to work that one out too.

I believe you hold the volume down and power until the screen comes up. Make sure you have held it long enough.

lol as long as you take the battery out, make sure u put it back in, then keep hold of the volume down button then either tap the power button or keep hold of it, both ways it boots up

Here is an easy one for somebody. I have tried holding power and volume down and power and volume up and i can not get my att one x to load to the bootloader. I have fast boot off. WTH? Can someone please assist? Thanks.
Hold volume down and power down...bottom buttons will flash 7 times...then release power button but keep holding volume down. That should get you there.

Why even take the time to respond when your answer is going to be this......
Edit ... to OP ... you're doing it wrong... wait 1 min after power down, hold vol down for 5 sec, then hold power together with vol down.

I don't believe you have to wait...What I do is reboot/power on while holding vol down the ENTIRE TIME until I get to the bootloader. I've found that releasing vol down too soon will just lead to a normal boot.

No I completely agree. I've jumped the gun personally on a shutdown a couple times and ended up just rebooting tho, so if this guy is still (which I hope and seriously doubt) trying to get to his BL, then may be the issue.. who knows.

gave it a try and works, THANK YOU!!
Ok, I have done some looking and have not figured out much yet. I have a one x from AT&T that will not go into fastboot . Pushed the down vol and power, it starts up as normal. There is a pin lock on the screen that the customer forgot the code, so all we need to do is reset the phone to factory. Any other way to do this? I can not access the phones menu to do any thing like turn on debugging to fix it that way. Any help would be great.

There is not button combo that goes directly to fastboot. That button combo gets you into bootloader. Once in bootloader, you can select fastboot.
And if you can't get into booloader, its almost always a matter of you not doing the button combo correctly. Hold both the power button and vol down until the capacitive buttons flash a few times and the screen powers off. While the screen is off, release the power button but not the vol down rocker. Keep holding vol down until the white hboot screen comes up. People often think you are supposed to release both buttons at the same time, which just makes the phone boot normally.
Also this thread belong in Q&A. I've notified the mods to move it.

Thank you redpoint73, I was not holding long enough and did not have my left index finger in my right ear either.
THANKS AGAIN

lol. Don't forget to jump up and down and flap your arms like a chicken. Absolutely necessary.
Seriously, it is confusing because a lot of people will just say "press power and vol down" which really doesn't accurately describe the whole process.
close please, condition green now.

My phone is having many many issues, and I can not get it to power off. I've held the power button down for minutes on end but it won't do anything. And to be specific, I'm not in a Rom trying to do this, I'm stuck in some sort of "grey" screen hell. If I plug into my computer, ADB recognizes it and will even pull a device number, but the phone will not respond to any command. I'm really just trying to get to the fastboot screen so I can hopefully flash the RUU.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks
You have to hold power+vol up. I think it's something like 10 sec.
Hold up on volume and power at the same time, this is equal to a battery pull and as soon as the phone turns off hold volume down and power to enter fast boot.

I did that for several minutes. It never actually powered off. Fortunately the battery died, and I was able to plug the phone back in and then do what I needed.
Thanks guys!
Say you get into a bad flash situation/hanging boot screen that just resets upon reboot and cant get to recovery. A battery pull in the past a has allowed subsequent access to recovery. What do you do in the case of a non-removable battery phone? Never had one and have used the batt pull method a lot.
Thanks.

Holding power and volume up until screen goes off and phone vibrates will restart device. Power and volume down will boot into recovery. Try both to become familiar.
Power + Vol Down & Up apparently cuts the power to the battery? Either way if the "cuts power to battery" part is wrong it still cuts it off.

only power + vol up cuts power on the M8, actually.
but yeah, battery pull on the M8 is simply holding power + vol up. Have had to do it dozens of times while hanging at start screens, works fine.
